Top set up, definitely worth a visit 🤙🏾

Took my 8 year old daughter & nephew there during the half term break for hour taster session.

Very friendly and professional instructor called Roz took care of the little people and they loved it.

Thanks to Roz and the team for taking the time and effort to make it a special visit.

The Depot is an awesome place to climb, it would be better still if they could open at 6am and allow for a climb before a hard days work :). (I can bribe you with a home-made Victoria sponge cake!)

Spoilt for choice in Birmingham but glad to have a variety of places to chose from. The Depot is a very welcome addition to the climbing scene. Really enjoyed our experience and looking forward to going back!!

Ps I have a 3 year old and having the opportunity to take her to Rocktots is very exciting......…for me 😜

Smart venue, clean and plenty to go at. Look forward to my next visit

Route setting is brilliant, all my favourite indoor problems are here. Great music even though it’s not to my usual taste.

My boys love Rock Kids, excellent instruction and a well developed programme. The staff are very friendly and helpful. It’s a great bouldering Center �

Massive bouldering centre with loads of different great routes - really friendly staff too!

Lots of space and many different challenges. The staff were helpful, and the place was very clean and well kept.

Check it out you won’t be disappointed

Interesting and varied climbs, a lot of fun :)

I think this will be my new favourite place! Went for an induction today, the staff couldn't have been more helpful and sociable. Really enjoyed the experience, I'm new to climbing so I don't know too much about the routes, but they do seem varied and they said they change a colour route every week. Hands are sore but I'll be back next week!

Huge space, no expense was spared on various holds, route setting seems to improve with every reset, and the staff are extremely helpful and friendly!

Great centre for climbing! I’m a complete beginner and the help has been amazing. It’s very friendly and an easy place to spend time and get to grips with climbing.



Highly recommend!!

Firstly massive thanks to Maria at the Depot Climbing Centre for arranging my children's birthday party at such short notice. After the original climbing venue cancelled at short not. Without Maria's help the climbing party may not have happened! Thank you. The event it self was fantastic and the 2 instructors Ellie and Cat was very professional and yet made the experience fun and exciting. My wife and I would certainly recommend The Climbing Centre Birmingham for a children's birthday party. See you all very soon!! Thanks again!!

Family friendly but challenging - perfect for me and my 10 year old son. Great cakes as well !!!

Excellent range of problems, friendly staff, handy little shop. Everything you could want really :)

Brilliant as usual from The Depot. Great bouldering, brilliant and helpful staff. Can’t be beaten.

Big thank you to Uzo and Kostas at Inside Physio for running the brilliant Women's Injury Prevention Symposium. Very knowledgable, great practical advice and coaching on a personal level. Keen to see more of these events tackling different aspects of a climber's physiology, especially as it was such good value for money!
